Jamal Lewis was sent off for Northern Ireland after picking up a second yellow card for time wasting in the 37th minute.
Lewis received his first caution in the 23rd minute before being shown a red card in their World Cup qualifier against Switzerland on Saturday.
14 minutes after his first offence, Lewis took too long over a throw in, with the match referee controversially showing him a second yellow card.
Northern Ireland manager Ian Baraclough and the player himself remonstrated the decision in a bizarre moment.
Lewis' sending off proved crucial as the Swiss hit back with goals in either half to record a 2-0 win.
